    Palestinians

    Israeli troops shot and wounded four Palestinian
    civilians in a raid near Netzarim Jewish settlement on
    Friday (December 12) according to Palestinian witnesses.

    Clashes erupted between Palestinian militants and
    Israeli soldiers after hundreds of gunmen carrying guns and
    anti-tank grenades rushed to the scene.

    Palestinian youths and men, some riding bikes, escaped
    from bullets, while Israeli soldiers were shooting at them.

    Palestinians said they were responding to a raid from
    Israelis, while military sources said the troops were
    guarding settler traffic and fired after coming under
    attack themselves.
